$150 vs $350 vs $550 Work Boots

Great video as usual. Appreciate it especially since I’m an IBEW member as well… so I’m a little biased.

Thank you I almost bought a pair of those brunt boot before I saw your video

Have you ever reviewed thorogoods? Have a pair on their 3rd sole

New Brunts made gave me a heel bone bruise

Do work boots not need steel toes in america? Pretty much every place that needs safety shoes in Canada requires a safety toe.

Most boots on these sites that have steel toes are like logger and linesmans that are 8"+ height with massive heels.

What model of the Nicks Boots was he wearing?

None of these are work boots, where is the steel toe and all the requirements of safety...

I bought some Brunt boots about a year and a half ago. I do have to say they were comfortable right out of the box. But they did get worn down pretty easily, especially the heel. I work in a warehouse so I don't need a boot that's super tough or for harsh work conditions. I am looking for a new pair now. Something for hot conditions.

I am on my second pair of chippewa boots. First pair, with cleaning and oiling lasted 4 years. The new boots are not of the same quality. They are coming apart in a little over a year. Didn't care for any of these but thanks for the info.

Honestly all 3 pairs look just as beat. He is looking at some replacement at minimum in a few months

what do you guys think about carolinas my last pair were red wings and i like them about a month into the carolinas and i think they are nice just hoping they last

Wait!? I have to replace my $275 boots every few months!? 😭

I will stick with RED WING ❤

Any chance you’ll be reviewing a pair of Truman’s double oxblood moc toes ??

I bought my boots for $400 and I'm just now looking to replace them 7 years later (plumber).

They look like that in 2 months? Like they already need to be replaced? Why spend $500 for something barely lasting 2 months? No way these last 10 years.

I'll get a pair of comfortable cat boots for £70 they'll last 5-6 months but my foot is the exact measurements that the boot was designed for which is size 9 were if someone is size 11 or 7 for example the measurements become warped and are probably better off getting a custom boot.

2 months wear😂😂😂
Ffs I'm wearing an u power brand for more than 18 months working 55+ hours and I definitely can say that they are worth to buy not your boots that after one month are looks like mine😂😂😂😂

I promise you all these boots will fail me in 6 months. Over a decade selecting and I inky buy boots for comfort because no boot will last in my line of work.

What are the three boots you have pictured on your video clip. They look like Redwings but I cant find them. Can you help? Love your channel

Thank You!!! Aloha.

Do the moc toe pro trades program come with 1964 or max support leather

For the $300 category i always go with danner. Ive had 2 pairs of their quarry boots and love them. The first pair got left on the truck box and i lost then somewhere on a highway

In Asia, construction workers just wear flip flops to work 😂

cool that you 2 are in the same job as i.....getting my 25 year pin next month and 15 more before i joined......nicks were the first i bought but my soles fell apart i thing someone did not build them right....despite this they outlasted the thorogoods from before that and the jks i have now are far superior i think because they use better stitching than nicks.....unfortunetaly i feel i wasted my money on the nicks and they will not do anything.....the leather on the nicks is very nice though maybe when i get a big rabbit haul ill have jk rebuild them the uppers are still good.....

Definitely not going overboard. That’s actually a great point. As someone who often works next to live traffic, I can tell you from experience that focusing on painful boots, or even an injury caused by your boots can make you less safe. Just as much as complacency. That’s actually a good thing to consider when thinking about boot comfort. Hard to imagine a good or bad pair of boots can make the difference between you going home at night or not. But they can.

Except employers don’t want to pay their workers enough in these trades to buy a $500 pair of boots.

cost is a large part of it.
How much does it cost, how long will it last = how much will those boots cost me every year.

I'm actually shopping for a new pair of work boots now. Looking for the very best. Right now I'm wearing Redwing. And they are hard to beat. I'm an electrician. Now I see in your video the guy wearing the white sole boots. Me myself I can't wear them. To me and I've tried many boot brands and no matter how much money it cost or what name brand. White sole boots are slick as snot on wet concrete and you will bust your ass. Even if concrete is dry but you just walked through wet grass. I'm wanting to try chippewa work boots but it'd be an expensive test if I don't like them. I'm on my feet 15 hours a day anywhere from driving to walking concrete to climbing ladders all day. . I might be using a shovel. Then to a service call commercial or residential to industrial. Then on concrete all day or a ladder . If I could find the perfect work boots I dint care if they cost a $1000.00 a pair along as I get 3 years use out of a pair. That being said my Redwing last 2 to 2.5 years. A work boot should be tuff yet as light as possible and slip resistant. And being I'm an electrician non steel toed. But should also be good looking enough it could double as a boot and be comfortable. I'm sure everyone reading my text and watching your video would agree price is not the issue. But we need these qualities in a work boot. Plus besides being an electrician I hike and I farm. And I hunt and fish. Is it too much to ask for a boot that fits my lifestyle

No safety toe boots on a construction site? I’m also in the same union as him.

What’s the widest, best, safety toe boot? Most important for me are the boots being wide.

I’ve been wearing my Timberland pros, composite toes for 2 years. They feel fine, still going strong, they’re just too narrow. I like barefoot shoes.

bro don't use AI for thumbnails makes me lose respect for you

I got my very first pair of Nicks a few weeks ago and man the break in was brutal, but afterwards they feel phenomenal, the comfort is definitely unmatched, I still have my old pair of Carolinas that I’ve had for 1 year before they fell apart and my feet started hurting so bad I had to bite the bullet and pay over $600 for a custom pair of MTO boots, best $600 I ever spent, am actually looking to get another pair so I can rotate them, thanks for your great videos, your the reason I got a pair of Nicks 🙏

I usually just end up going with Ariats. I dumpster boots within a year just due to the nature of my work. Nothing survives. So for me there’s no reason to buy a $500-800 pair of custom boots for them to be totally unrepairable within a years my boots LIVE in oil, hydraulic fluid, water, greases, chemicals, high heat from welding amongst many other horrible conditions. No matter how you try to take care of your stuff nothing lasts long. Pants, work boots and shirts are disposable in my line of work so for me this is what I end up having to do.

When will Nicks or Whites or any of the other PNW premium brands make a wedge sole moc toe composite safety toe that's waterproof? Until they do that I can't consider their product(s).

Limmer Boots are awesome and made in New Hampshire (yes, that’s in the USA). They take 7 measurements of each foot and the uppers are 1 piece of leather with a 5-row stitch on the inner side. They are primarily for hiking but many men wear them for YEARS as work boots, and they can be re-soled. They also offer ready-to-wear “stock sizing” if you don’t want to wait for custom-fit boots. Those also save you some money. I have (2) pairs and I love them. When you buy them you can also have them apply TUFF TOE (a coating) to the tow area.

You do not even need to spend that much, Birks Titan Kevlar boots, more or less bulletproof for half that price :)

Around the house boots been there but even when im working in my own yard I destroy shoes and boots that i didn't plan on working in..... Same with work pants. All pants just become work pants :(

Hey, let's remind Tyler to switch his boots out every other day or so and that way he can keep the Red wings and the Knicks and good condition. Especially the interior. I believe brunt would have a good place in the cosplay world or the alphabet world. You know those folks like to pretend.

Are there any recommended boots for winter weather and heavy duty mechanical use against oil grease and abrasion

Brunt=💩

I'd love to see reviews on boots geared toward the guys in the water department in the dpw. Boots that can hold up to being in mud and water for most of the say. I'm talking which mock toe boots can withstand this type of wear and tear. Everyone in my department swear by therogoods but what other brands can hold up.

Not impressed with this particular video comparison. There are a lot of really great work boots that run in the $250 range that make a lot more sense comfort wise, wear wise, money wise. Burning $500. to trash a pair of boots is senseless or I should say, common senseless. Thorogood boots are a great alternative and will be comfortable and get the job done. Instead of resoleing those beat up Nicks, you could instead purchase two brand new pair of thorogood boots that will last every bit as long and you could also have them resoled if you wanted. Again, no common sense here imho

who in their right mind would buy these clown boots?! Ideally it's better to work as fraudster such as lawyer attorney or online seller of successful success!

you can extend boot life by just cleaning them once a week and cleaning and conditioning every other week and keeping a tree in them when not wearing

I’m surprised the red wings soles were not worn out. Mine lasted about month. The supersole x is the best red wing boot.

It is "I" ( 17 years in the demolition, deconstruction and salvage industry) that should be the ultimate judge of what is the best work boot. However, I can't afford the upper tier of this particular list.

From the look of the after pictures dude made no attempt to clean them, I've found they last longer if you take care of them.

1 month is too short! 6 months each ATLEAST!

Is it just my experience or do Redwings take a RIDICULOUSLY long time to break in?
